Courage.

Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go. -Joshua 1:9

I admit to you, I haven't been very courageous. Doubt and fear has me feeling like I am trapped in quicksand. I can't breathe, I am shaking.

I remember that Courage isn't just a nice idea, it's a command.

I can't find anywhere in the bible where it commands us to be weak and safe. But, over and over again we are reminded to be strong and courageous.

I've heard it said that, "Courage isn't the absence of fear, it's having fear and moving forward anyway."

So, I can face that thing that is gripping me in fear too. 

FEAR NOT. MOVE FORWARD.
